]]> Question:
How can I load my user backup file into the PC4, restoring the exact state of the instrument at the time of backup?

Answer:

PC4 compatible files are loaded from USB flash/thumb drives. A backup file created on the PC4 will have a “.PC4” extension. The following instructions assume you created your backup using this procedure.

Caution: The following steps will erase all user memory and replace it with the content contained within your backup file.

“LOAD” Procedure:

1) Plug a flash/thumb drive into the PC4 back-panel USB “Storage” port:
2) Press the front panel GLOBAL mode button:
3) Press the soft “FILE” button:
4) Press the “LOAD” soft button:

Note: If no flash/thumb drive is inserted when pressing “LOAD”, the display will show the message “Error: No valid device inserted”.
5) As needed, use the data wheel and/or -/+ buttons to navigate to and highlight your backup file:
6) With the desired backup file highlighted, press “OVWRITE (overwrite)”:

Reminder: Overwrite erases all existing user memory and replaces it, in its entirety, with the contents of the selected file.
7) Press “YES” to confirm restoring the backup file:
 

8) A brief “Loading…” message will be displayed while things are loaded. You will then return to the main Storage mode screen.
 

9) Press Exit or any of the mode buttons (Program, Multi or Global) to leave File mode.

]]> Question:
How can I save (backup) all of my PC4 user data and system settings?

Answer:

The PC4 saves all data from both User Banks (Program and Multis) into one file with a “.PC4” extension. PC4 files can be saved/loaded to/from a USB flash/thumb drive.

“STORE” Procedure:

1) Plug a flash/thumb drive into the PC4 back-panel USB “Storage” port:
2) Press the front panel GLOBAL mode button:
3) Press the soft “FILE” button:
4) Press the “STORE” soft button:
5) Press the “ALL” soft button:
6) Select the directory to save your file to. The simplest approach here is to just press “OK” to store your file to the current directory:
7) Name your file. Use the alpha wheel and/or alphanumeric keypad to enter characters. Use the soft buttons beneath the display to move the cursor and manage character positions. Then press “OK” to save the file to disk:
 

8) A brief “Storing…” message will be displayed while the file is saved. Once completed you will return to the Storage mode screen.
 

9) Press Exit or any of the mode buttons (Program, Multi or Global) to leave File mode.

 

Next Steps: To learn to reload a backup file, see “Loading User Data (Back Up)“.

Notes:

  • If no flash/thumb drive or USB cable is inserted when pressing “STORE” (step 4), the display will show the message “Error: No valid device inserted.”.
  • If the filename you choose already exists on disk, when pressing “OK” (step 7) you will see an alert. “Warning: A file with that name already exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite it?”. You can choose ‘Yes’ to proceed, or ‘No’ to return to the naming screen and enter a new name.
  • If no USER objects are in memory when pressing “OK” (step 7), the display will show the message “Nothing stored”.

]]> Question:

How can I use the PC4’s front-panel transport controls to trigger my DAW’s start/stop?

Answer:

The PC4 uses MIDI Machine Control (MMC¹) to activate the Play/Stop/Pause² functions of your DAW.

There are two basic steps to establish control over your DAW’s Start/Stop/Pause functions:

  • Enable the PC4’s front panel transport to transmit MMC messages, and
  • Enable your DAW to receive MMC (if supported).

Enable MMC Transmission on the PC4

On the PC4 Global/MIDI page set the Xmit Transport parameter to “MMC”.

Enable MMC Reception on your DAW

In each DAW, the settings to enable the reception of MMC commands will be a little different. Check your DAW documentation for specifics.
Below we show the settings in Logic as one example:

Example:

On Logic’s Project Settings/Synchronization/MIDI page, enable the Listen To MIDI Machine Control (MMC) Input parameter:

Once the above two steps are done, the PC4 front panel transport will control your DAW’s Start/Stop/Pause functions.

Notes:

  1. Not all DAW’s support MMC. Please check your DAW documentation for compatibility.
  2. The current PC4 MMC implementation only allows control over Play/Stop/Pause, not Record or FF/RW.
